Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Cancer Center ^Hubs

About a quarter of Taiwan’s cancer patients are treated in Chang Gung medical institutions. Each year, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, the largest cancer hospital, offers state-of-the-art multidisciplinary treatment to more than 8,000 newly diagnosed cancer patients, whoever they are.

As modern cancer treatment reflects cross-disciplinary collaboration, specialists from different disciplines are required to team up to diagnose and make treatment plans. In 1990, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital set up an office in preparation for a cancer center, which was intended to integrate comprehensive cancer services of the hospital. After years of hard work and the efforts by president Chen Ming-fu, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Cancer Center was founded in January 2004. Following three years of construction as well as integration of software and hardware, Taiwan’s first cancer center in a comprehensive medical center came into existence and officially went into operation in early 2007.
